Nothing Rotten about the Big Plum

George Voinovich, 44, is a shy man who shuns the headlines. Yet late
last month, after a year and a half in city hall, the slight,
sandy-haired Republican mayor of Cleveland indulged himself in a bit of
well-earned whimsy. At a Cleveland Indians' home game against the New
York Yankees, Voinovich showed up wearing a garish T shirt under his
neat sports coat. NEW YORK'S THE BIG APPLE, proclaimed the shirt, BUT
CLEVELAND'S A PLUM. Breaking out in a sheepish grin, he then tossed a
real plum to the Indians' catcher.
